hahah ... Carrie this was my plan all along. But I will call you to complain and blame you

Actually this is how I DO try and swim the 100 but it just never actually happens that way. I'm going to try and die/make it hurt. Vince has assured me that my training will carry me through the last 25. I hope he's right.

Better to flame out and die then hit the wall and feel like I could have gone faster.

Carrie, I totally agree. I think I had one of those famous lightbulb moments Monday. I think I focus on trying to go out fast with my arms in the 100 instead of my legs. Actually I think I've been obsessing on my arms and turnover too much and not letting my legs be my strength and what carries me through AND speeds up my turn over.

On the 25 I did I really just went to town on my legs. That's where I feel my lack of a good first 50 has been coming in - not sure, we'll see next week.

Respectfully, I'd say that even in Austin you could have taken out your 100 harder. You did your 50 in 26-mid and took your hundred out in 28-something... there was over a 1.5 sec differential between your 50 time and your 100 split... Then again, look who's talking - she of utter death on the 2nd 50...

I found one that's a pill form. It's been helping I think. Whole Foods also has awesome gluten free Brownies. There are decent granola? bars that I found, too. I got some gluten-free pasta also, not sure about that. I'll let you know when I try it.

I had major temptation this weekend in the form of ice cream cake and ice cream sandwhich cake ... turned them down - bummer.

I like that drill, but Qbrain and Jazz thought it was largely useless. Probably better if you do it with higher weight on the cable machine. But it may help the RC muscles doing it on a yoga ball like that.

30 seconds of recovery on the squat set. Three times through. It was good.

He had me laying on the BOSU with my feet touching the ground. I had 2lbs weights I believe. Since I couldn't practice the catch without going through the floor I focused on keeping the scaps down and lats engaged.
